We can easily be reachedfrom Frankfurt, Cologne, Koblenz, Trier, Mainz, Wiesbaden, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe, Kaiserslautern or Luxembourg. We offer a large variety of activities for experienced skydivers, but also welcome beginners who want to experience the fascination of skydiving in a tandem jump or even wish to complete an AFF training and acquiere a skydiving license.

Training course

In order to go skydiving on your own, you need a corresponding licence. To obtain a German parachuting licence, you need to perform at least 25 free fall jumps (including 2 exam jumps) and pass a theoretical test. You may obtain a licence from us by passing an AFF course (i.e. a basic course) and subsequently "completing" the course.

AFF Course

AFF training levels

Level 1-2

During the first jump, two AFF instructors maintain contact to the student during the entire process, from exiting the plane until the opening of the canopy.Apart from familiarizing the student with the experience of free fall, this level already includes certain learning elements during the free fall phase (ca. 40-50 seconds).The student's tasks include maintaining a correct body posture, constant monitoring of your altitude, maintaining eye contact to your instructors, pulling practice and opening the canopy at an altitude of 1500 meters on instructors' command. With each subsequent jump, the tasks of the participant will gain in complexity and responsibility.

AFF Level

Level 3

Already in their 3rd jump, students move without direct contact to their instructors. However, the instructors remain close at all times in order to be able to intervene if necessary. Students must successfully complete a level before advancing to the next stage. If a student misses the learning objectives of a certain level, they must repeat that stage.

Level 4

While in stages 1-3 students are accompanied by two AFF instructors during free fall, only one instructor is required as of level 4. The instructor maintains contact to the participant during the exit from the plane. After that, the student is released in order to be able to practice controlled turns.

Level 5-7

Level 7 as the final stage requires participants to demonstrate their acquired abilities. If the student is successful, they have reached their goal and can move on to further jumps on their own. This means that skilled AFF students can perform individual jumps and enjoy the experience of free fall without an instructor after only seven jumps. When they have performed a total of 25 training jumps, they are fit for the license exam.
